Prosser, Bradley: The Choke Report

Ann Walsh Bradley doesn't know what it means to be choked.

She's made a fool of herself, but the real victim in all of this is Justice David Prosser, unfairly being accused of assaulting Bradley.

I don't think Bradley has the wisdom necessary to be a competent justice if she thinks contact constitutes a chokehold.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

In interviews with detectives on July 8, Prosser described the impromptu argument between two groups of justices in Bradley's chambers and said that Bradley "charged" him with her fist raised. He said that he may have been unable to back up because of a piece of office furniture and that he put up his hands to defend himself.

"Did my hands touch her neck, yes, I admit that. Did I try to touch her neck, no, absolutely not, it was a total reflex," Prosser said.

Detectives only recorded their interview with Prosser, a fact not explained in the report.

The confrontation between Prosser and Bradley happened after he questioned Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, saying he had lost faith in her ability to lead the court.

Bradley said she confronted Prosser because he was agitated and loud and she wanted him to leave her suite of offices. Bradley said she was "in control" and denied that she had rushed toward him or raised her fist, saying instead she had walked to him and pointed to the door.

" 'Buddy, get out of my office,' " Bradley said she told Prosser during an interview with a detective on July 12. While saying that, she said in a June 28 interview she was "standing face to face to confront (Prosser)."

She said she specifically remembered using the word "buddy" for a reason.

"Buddy puts me in control and them in the diminutive," she told a detective.

Later, Bradley said, she could recall the contact of Prosser's hands on her neck but no pain or pressure. She did say that she had become emotional after the incident.

Good grief.

This required a special prosecutor?

More government waste.

"Buddy puts me in control and them in the diminutive." Wow, do sane people think like that? This woman is a judge?!
